Description

Octomore 10.1 is the first release in the tenth edition of Bruichladdich's super-heavily peated Octomore series. Distilled in 2013 from 100% Scottish Concerto barley, peated to 107 ppm, and matured for 5 years in first-fill ex-bourbon casks from distilleries like Jim Beam, Heaven Hill, Buffalo Trace, and Jack Daniel's. It was bottled in 2018 at a cask strength of 59.8% ABV, non-chill filtered, and without added color. This limited edition release consists of 42,000 bottles, showcasing a 'softer smoke' profile compared to some previous Octomore expressions.
